Prebuilt Gaming PC

I'm saving up (got £300 so far, will only take a few months to reach budget) to buy a prebuilt PC. I know most of you would be raging at me, but if I built my own, I would not know where to start! I have a budget of £500-£600 and I was wondering if you could suggest any for me! I play PC Games (Minecraft, DayZ etc), and will be creating YouTube videos too, so will need a fast PC to record (no lagg, high fps). It will be used for everyday browsing the internet too (facebook, hxf, habbo, homework, corsework). If you guys could suggest one for me that would be great! I was looking into getting this one; http://www.pcfixshop.co.uk/pcbuilds.htm and upgrading it over time (better graphics card etc).

Thanks!

does that come alreeady built?

Building your own is not hard. There's plenty of guides on the Internet on how to do it. Example like http://pc.buildyourown.org.uk/pc-building/

I built my own gaming PC and it comes off a lot cheaper. Also worth getting an AMD processor if you wanna upgrade processor without paying for a new mobo as well in the future.

Intel change their sockets to make sure you can't do that, whereas AMD are very backwards compatible which is nice. In regards to drives, get an SSD as that will be the most noticeable addition to make your build speedy. Run your OS on the SSD as well a couple of games, keep the rest less demanding ones on a normal drive.

Also try to get a decent graphics card. Right now cards are far ahead of what people need them for. If you're running a traditional 1080p monitor then really you could get by with like a 660Ti which aren't hello expensive anymore.

Either way good luck brah

It's really not hard, everything has it's own place, and only fits there! Plus you could get a MUCH better PC for the same price if you did :P

Start with a case

Get a power supply into the case

Next put a motherboard in, fit a processor, CPU fan and RAM into it, as well as a graphics card.

Connect power supply cables to labelled bits on the motherboard.

Install any CD drives by sliding them into the case.

Install your hard drives by connecting them using red SATA cables.

Install an OS onto the hard drive by booting from a windows or Linux CD.
